How is Lemmy better than Reddit?

25% of reddit comments are chatgpt trash if not worse. It used to be an excellent Open Source Intelligence tool but now it's just a bunch of fake supportive and/or politically biased bots

I will miss reddits extremely niche communities, but I believe Lemmy has reached the inflection point to eventually reach the same level of niche communities

Unfortunately, it's for the best. If you're serious about research you have to present yourself. Especially if you're the first person to discover it, you're the most - possibly only - qualified person to talk about that thing.

Part of scientific communication is giving elevator talks. You have to be able to argue for funding.

Not to mention, if you never develop those skills, you're just opening yourself up to getting a worse financial incentive for the same amount of work

I sort of agree, but I think it depends on effort.

Type one word in and try and sell the easiest generated image? Low value.

But typing the right combo to create assets to create something larger than the model is capable of? That's more valuable.

Criticizing AI or artists that leverage AI is like criticizing an artist for using a printer instead of drawing by hand

Or saying someone's digital work is inferior because they used a tool to help make their image...

On that note, when working on a large project, is an AI artist as pretentious as the artist in the comic because they got some help generating the project from an AI instead of another human? Or is someone's work ethic less credible for Google searching instead of asking a person? Are works of art valuable because they're entirely original and uninfluenced by anything else but the artist themself? Because with that metric no artists are valuable since nothing is entirely original anyways
